Killer bees periodically interrupt the arch writing, stilted direction and ludicrous acting in Irwin Allen's disappointing and tired non-thriller.

Rating: 5/10 --
The script's most potentially inspired element, that survivors may have a sort of psychic link with the bees, remains unfortunately unexploited.

Hammy action yarn with an entertaining performance from Michael Caine.

Rating: 2/10 --
Quite unbelievably terrible, just campy enough to be fun-bad instead of merely bad-bad.

As an adult, I recognize that The Swarm is, well, not good, but I can now enjoy it as a so-bad-it's-brilliant endeavor.
